Reading edition
„With respect to political connection, altho' no adjudication of new territory can take place till a Peace, I see no reason why the Prince of Orange should not by emissaries or other means quietly encourage the people of the Low Countries to look to him as their future Sovereign. As far as the Meuse I think he is quite safe” (Castlereagh aan Clancarty, 1 Febr. 1814; Ged. VII, 38).
